In the Club’s early seasons, we fielded teams in the “A” and “B” Grade competitions of what was known as the Municipal & Shires competition (now Shires). On 3 February 1968, the “B” Shires team played Ryde at Sutherland Oval in a one-day match. Captain Max Silva won the toss and sent Ryde in to bat. Young tearaway pace bowler Paul McCann was making his debut for the club and had a strong southerly at his back. However, it was the gentle medium pace of Geoff Glover that bamboozled the Ryde batsmen. Hooping his inswingers into the strong breeze, he was nearly unplayable as he took 8-6 off 4.7 overs.
